23 Christmas Cookies and Cakes

Eating is a holiday tradition, aside from the requisite turkey or goose most families have their own festive rituals when it comes to holiday meals. Christmas cookies and cakes abound and are usually washed down with a delicious cup of hot chocolate (hopefully, spiked) or egg nog.

Creative Christmas cookies and cakes are sweet treats that will put everyone in the mood to celebrate the season. They also make wonderful and tasty presents (for those of us who are strapped for cash or ideas).
